We do mostly SFR for buyer/sellers in the Tacoma Area, South of Seattle.

I then found the tax buyer and contacted her and she said she wasn’t going to let anyone redeem the property tax even though over the past years she’d never had the property put in her name.

That way you’re not directly finding a buyer for the seller.

Keeping it on the MLS just in case a buyer wants it first.

I will begin wholesaling very soon and as I begin my wholesaling education, I do have a question for you all.In order to be a great wholesaler, one must understand the wants and needs of end buyers, correct?

My goal is to buy the property via lease option purchase and then resell it with a lease option purchase and cashflow while waiting for the new buyer to qualify for a loan.My concern is that the monthly payment could eventually exceed my cashflow.My original thought was that I set a fixed monthly rent amount in my lease purchase agreement with the seller, and anything above that is his responsibility.But my concern with that is what if he doesn't continue to pay the mortgage?

Kitchens and bathrooms are the rooms that draw people in and it will be obvious if you skimped which might cost you time and money waiting for the right buyer. 

He said the following: "I am sending you what four other prospective buyers have received.I got a specific Power of Attorney from my wife before she left for California.REMEMBER NO CONTINGENCIES."

Just getting educated about the process of buying an "assignable" tax certificate in Illinois and getting a tax deed if the buyer does not redeem.
